Taking Your Site Offline
< Web Users & Web Groups index >
There are times when you need to take your site offline temporarily. MODx offers a flexible way to take the site offline and let users know what's going on.
Log in to the Manager as a user with Configuration management permissions. Go to Administration -> System settings. The offline configuration is in the first tab, Site Settings.
When you are logged in as a Manager user, you will continue to see the site as usual. This makes it easy to take your site offline for maintenance, and still be able to see and test your modifications before taking the site live. All other users will see your Site unavailable page, or the Site unavailable message.
If no document is assigned to use when offline, the Site unavailable message will be displayed.
